What was the impact of Dred Scott v.

Sandford, on North-South relations and why?

The Dred Scott Decision outraged abolitionists, who saw the Supreme Court's ruling as a way to stop the debate about slavery in the territories. The divide between North and South over slavery grew and culminated in the secession of southern states from the Union and the creation of the Confederate States of America.
